Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 194: Spirit Gathering Trapping Formation

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Spirit Gathering Trapping Formation

“Lin kid, don’t be afraid, they can’t jump out of this formation,” Nie Qing said with a smile.

Su Xiangzhe and the others also noticed the animals’ abnormality inside, originally supposed to be harmless herbivores, but now they had all become fierce beasts with glints of red light in their eyes, as if they could jump out and tear them apart any second.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiuyuan no longer hesitated, waved his hand to condense several ice spikes, and stabbed them towards the mutated beasts inside.

A pheasant surprisingly dodged Lin Xiuyuan’s ice spikes with agility and then leaped towards Lin Xiuyuan, using the body of a wild boar as leverage!

Lin Xiuyuan instinctively tried to dodge, but then the pheasant seemed to hit some kind of barrier and crashed heavily to the ground.

“Even the pheasants are this formidable,” Lin Xiuyuan muttered.

“It’s getting late, we should make it quick,” Su Jin said.

It was already five or six in the afternoon, and although it wasn’t dark yet, the light within the forest had already dimmed significantly.

Come night, there would be many nocturnal animals, and she wasn’t afraid of large mutated beasts, but rather the poisonous insects and snakes her grandfather mentioned.

“This is simple, Xiao Hao and I can just set a fire and burn them all,” Lu Guanhai said, ready to release his special ability into the formation.

“Keep the meat, it’s useful,” Lu Hao walked over and stopped Lu Guanhai.

They had set out with the pretense of hunting mutated beasts, and if they returned without any beast corpses, it would be suspicious.

Having heard Lu Hao’s explanation, everyone remembered this point, and although the meat of these mutated beasts didn’t sell for much, returning empty-handed would certainly raise suspicions from people like Guo Yang.

“Mom, Aunt, it’s up to you now,” Su Jin said with a smile.

Huang Yunxiang and Su Xiangzhe nodded; they each manipulated water and thunder elements and attacked the center of the formation on the clearing. The paralyzing effect of the thunder element caused many mutated beasts to die within the formation without even a chance to howl, while other larger beasts like wild pigs lost their lives one after another under the assault of Lin Xiuyuan and Su Jin’s special abilities.

Seeing that all the mutated beasts within the formation were dead, Nie Qing waved his hand and removed the formation. Mao Qiqi began to search for beast cores with everyone else, knives in hand.

After some searching, they discovered that each mutated beast’s head contained a beast core!

Although they varied in size, this fact indeed excited everyone.

“This makes sense, after all, these mutated beasts were attracted by the spiritual energy of the crystal cores, so the ones that came all had crystal cores,” Nie Qing analyzed. But why did these mutated beasts attack humans after mutating? Was it just because they were naturally combative?

Hearing Nie Qing’s question, Su Jin replied, “Because compared to humans, animals can adapt better to the Apocalypse, and in the Apocalypse, humans will gradually become the weakest link.”

Everyone fell silent; they had indeed noticed this.

The animal kingdom was always about the survival of the fittest, and in the eyes of the mutated animals, which had grown stronger in size and ability, weak humans were no longer noteworthy.

It was like, like the cycle of karma…

After Huang Yunxiang washed the beast cores, she handed them to Su Jin. Looking at the small basket of beast cores in her hand, Su Jin waved and stored them in her space, then she also collected the bodies of the mutated beasts from the ground into her space.

In the space, her grandparents had specially prepared an area for the bodies of mutated beasts. Su Jin tried to control the corpses to that fixed area, but when she entered the space, she was disappointed to find the bodies still lying unchanged on the altar, so she had to wave her hand to move them to the designated area for mutated beast corpses.

So after absorbing so many beast cores, the space still can’t level up?

Fortunately, Su Jin noticed that the grey fog near the stream had receded quite a bit, which gave her a sense of achievement.

Lu Hao seemed to have come in a bit later, but Su Jin didn’t pay much attention to it since by that time Lin Cheng, Mao Zhihang, Lin Tianzhen, and Lin Tianhui had also entered the space.

Although the four of them had been busy at the base all day, what they were most worried about was the safety of their family members. Seeing that Su Jin and the others weren’t injured, they finally felt relieved.

Grandfather Lin Yunguo had, as usual, prepared a large table full of dishes, and the family had a rare meal together in the space.

“Oh dear, a few survivors came to the base today. One of the girls had such a serious leg injury. Doctor Yao said that if it had been any later, they might not have been able to save her,” mentioned Lin Tianhui, Mrs. Su, as she chatted with everyone about the day’s events at the base during the meal.

A girl, leg injury?

“Among those people, was there a long-haired girl named Anna?” Su Jin asked.

“Yes, yes, there was, and there were a few boys as well. They seemed to have a good relationship,” said Mrs. Su.

As soon as Mrs. Su finished speaking, Su Jin and the others laughed, it seemed that those people had safely arrived at the base.

“How do you know them?” Aunt Lin Tianzhen asked, seeing everyone laugh, curious about the connection.

Lin Xiuyuan told them about what had happened during the day. However, they were all a bit puzzled, as the girl’s leg injury didn’t seem very serious. It was just that her trousers were stained red with blood, which shouldn’t have been a fatal wound.

“It doesn’t look serious, but the glass shards were about to travel along her blood vessels. If they reached the inside of her body, that would have been the end,” explained Lin Tianhui, who had learned a lot of medical knowledge from Doctor Yao in the past two days, so now she always referred to him as Doctor Yao.

So that was it. It seemed that those people were indeed very lucky. They had been saved once by them and then again by Doctor Yao.

“Today, we finally finished digging the foundation, and tomorrow we’ll start paving it,” Lin Cheng also shared the construction progress of the base with everyone.

“It’s very fast already; when we left in the morning, some sections were still just flat ground,” Su Xiangzhe commented.

It truly seemed that many hands make light work. He had seen those sections in the morning and thought it would take another week to finish, but to his surprise, it was done in just one day.

“If it hadn’t been for that small zombie horde today, we might have finished by noon,” Mao Zhihang added while eating.

A small zombie horde?

That shouldn’t be right. There were already so few zombies in City West now that there were no conditions for a zombie horde to gather, Su Jin shared her doubts with everyone.

Lu Hao paused with his chopsticks for a moment. Su Jin’s suspicion was also what he suspected, and it reminded him of Sun Yixue and Zhao Bin’s group from before. Could it be that the people behind them had started to act again?

Lin Xiuyuan, however, didn’t pay much attention to it as he was busy calculating the time while eating.

They were planning to stay in the space tonight, and it was only 8 o’clock in the evening outside. They planned to stay until 6 o’clock in the morning before leaving, which meant that they could stay in the space for about 100 hours?!

“Hahaha, we’re off, we’re off, a four-day long break, hahaha,”

Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but slap the table with laughter. Although they had been spending some time in the space every night, for the safety of the space and not to disrupt the next day’s routine, they would always leave the space before sleeping. But this time, he could finally spend a few continuous days inside without worry, how could he not be excited?
